Hi, everyone!
Apropos of nothing, you should never let friends peer-pressure you into drinking just because it's the first time you all meet in a while. Peer-pressure is bad, and drinking is highly overrated, especially if you're a headache-prone guy like me.
That said, if people are ...

Night falls over Rumbling Thunder City.
The storm still rages. Though less intense than it was hours ago, the rain, wind, and thunder are still enough to keep most of the city inside their houses. Perhaps General Dan will be calm when the morning comes. Perhaps, the storm will go ...
2023-02-20 11:55:01 +0000 UTC View PostI haven't done a good job answering messages lately. For the last two weeks, I think. It's been busy, but I will try to go over them this week.
Here are the week's chapters:

Dark clouds cover the sky, and heavy rain pours with such intensity that it is hard to see beyond a couple of feet. No one would believe it is only the middle of the day. Obscured by the storm and accompanied by the ever-present rumbling of thunder, Rumbling Thunder Mountain can almost ...
2023-02-13 11:55:00 +0000 UTC View PostI got some questions about this a while back. How does it work? Can anyone use any element? Are there prerequisites for certain elements?
And so on.
First of all, any cultivator can learn any element. It’s just a matter of training and proper guidance. At least, that’s the theory ...
2023-02-09 22:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostDid you know tortoises could get this huge?
Because I didn't. That's not a giant tortoise. That's something you ride into battle against a very slow army.
So yeah, someone is going to ride ...

By now, Yi Jiao should have reached Rumbling Thunder City and presented the evidence of Duke Lai’s treachery. Soon enough, General Dan will summon Duke Lai. If Duke Lai answers the summons, he will face a trial, his treachery will be exposed, and he will be punished. If Duke Lai tries...
2023-02-06 11:56:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe following questions come from a previous Q&A. I have some posts made on newer stuff, but I figured I should answer these first.
Q1: Who is the strongest among the three great powers beyond the Dead Plains?
They are more or less equal. However, it might be poss...
2023-02-04 05:00:39 +0000 UTC View PostOnce upon a time, I was stuck home for a couple of days because of a snow storm. Not literally stuck. I could go out and walk, but everything was closed and the snow was like knee-deep.
I missed that this week. Winter and I are lifelong buddies, but my body just can't handle summer we...

The cultivator descending from the heavens wears a thick brown cloak with a hood on it that doesn’t leave even an inch of her body exposed. Even her face is hidden behind a white veil. However, no matter how covered up she is, there is no mistaking her power.

Things are never fine.

Of the disciples who betrayed the Eternal Flame Clan in the Dead Plains, there were three notable ones who never returned and whose deaths were never confirmed. Shi Qingxia is one of them. The other two are Ye Zheyu and Yong Zhunyi. Since Shi Qingxia is in the Storm Dragon Empire, it is...
2023-01-23 11:55:01 +0000 UTC View PostWhat a week. What a week.
Here are the week's chapters:
Chapter 205: Uncontrolled is now available for Core Disciples.

Liu Jin flies over the countryside on Soaring Feather’s back. The Black-Winged Imperial Eagle lets out a fierce cry for everyone around to hear, his massive wings fully unfurled.
“You can stop now,” Liu Jin says, patting the bird’s back. “We do not want to be too obvious...
2023-01-16 11:55:00 +0000 UTC View PostIs it Good?
This discussion came up a while back. In fact, I have had this post ready for some time and simply never got around to posting it for one reason or another.
Is there a point in wearing armor when everyone is a punch wizard? Is it useful? Does it do anythin...
2023-01-12 20:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostA new year is here! Let's make it a good one!
Chapter 204: Sampling is now available for Core Disciples.

Song Daiyu invites Duke Lai to the Five Blessings Auction House.
Usually, it’d be the sort of invitation Duke Lai would scoff at. Song Daiyu is a young girl who has not even seen twenty springs while he is the ruler of Stone River City. It is not her place to decide where they s...

I hope you had a great New Year’s Eve. Lots of ground to cover in this post, so let’s get to it.

Song Daiyu listens to his story. At first, she does so with amused interest, but that amusement fades before Liu Jin hits the halfway mark, leaving only interest behind. Disgust, shock, and disbelief are the next to take turns playing across her face. Her eyebrows rising and falling, an...
2022-12-28 23:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostPiece of advice, never offer to host the holidays unless you have a small army ready to make your house presentable. Otherwise, it's just so tiring. I didn't realize I forgot to make the weekly post until a couple of hours ago.
To think as a kid I just needed to comb my hair, wear ni...
2022-12-27 01:30:01 +0000 UTC View PostCore Disciples, the usual Monday chapter will be uploaded on Wednesday instead.
No distressing news behind this one (health is still good). Just regular holiday shopping taking more time than expected. It's a war out there, I tell you. Never trust sweet old grannies. They will cut you...

It's the hap-happiest season of all!
Here are the week's chapters:
Chapter 202: My Mother Warned Me is now available for Core Disciples.

The negotiations end in failure.
Duke Lai shows off his connection to the Five Blessings Group and dismisses Liu Jin and Yi Jiao shortly after. Before the meeting, Liu Jin would have called him thoughtless for it. Now, it is easy to understand why the duke is so confident.

I'm not sure if I ever came out and said it before, but I have alluded to it once or twice. Doctors tell me I am particularly lucky because people with my condition usually find out when the tumor's grown so much that it has already done irreparable n...

The waters of Stone River are perfectly clear.
Usually, the flowing water of a river will inevitably stir up the soil beneath and around it on its journey to the ocean. The minerals in the ground, in addition to the plant and animal life in the water, give a river its color, be it...

Like I said yesterday (apologies for the late announcement, by the way), there won't be a chapter for Core Disciples today. Full explanation coming later. The chapter will be released this Wednesday.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Outer and Inner Disciples will get their updates as normal. However, Core Disciples will have to wait until Wednesday. I don't like doing this, but I wouldn't be doing it unless I had no other choice. I will post a full explanation later. Once I am ...

So many things have happened. Barrier Statue of the Stormwinds is banned in MD, and I have discovered Bocchi the Rock!, the most rocking show right now because nothing says rock like an awkward pink-haired girl in a pink track suit.
Yep.

One week.
That is how long it should have taken for new supplies to arrive.

It has been three weeks already.
